Five years. Five years that you won't get back from me.
Yesterday marked five years of my God Free sobriety.
Patty's Day, I know. Lucky edge.

tangential meaning from David Bowie:

"We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
Five years, what a surprise
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, thats all weve got
We've got five years, what a surprise
Five years, stuck on my eyes"
